Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed that India’s Gen Z has reposed faith in the BJP’s development model, highlighting recent victories including the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) results. Speaking at a rally in Malda, West Bengal, ahead of upcoming state elections, Modi said youth support reflects confidence in the party’s governance and growth agenda. He also criticised the Trinamool Congress government, calling for “parivartan” (change) in Bengal and asserting that development and connectivity will be priorities under BJP leadership. The rally underscored the party’s push to expand its footprint in the state. (PC: PTI)
